The Norwegian version is a brilliant book and has been immensely popular among Scandinavian divers ever since the first edition (which had quite a lot of errors) was published. The photographs are absolutely fantastic. I don't think UK divers need be concerned about the fact that it originates from Scandinavia as it probably covers just about everything you are likely to see in UK waters as well as a whole lot of creatures that you are unlikely to see. The only problem for me is that there is no Swedish edition. A book with the Norwegian or English common names is of limited use when one lives in Sweden.
